10ME,  ye  sinners,  poor  and  needy, 
Weak  and  wounded,  sick  and  sore ; 
Jesus  ready  stands  to  save  you, 
Full  of  pity,  love,  and  power : 

He  is  able, 
He  is  willing :  doubr  no  more. 
Cho. — Turn  to  the  Lord,  and  seek  salvation, 
Sound  the  praise  of  his  dear  name, 
Glory,  honor,  and  salvation, 

Christ,  the  Lord,  is  come  to  reign. 

2  Now,  ye  needy,  come  and  welcome ; 

God's  free  bounty  glorify ; 
True  belief  and  true  repentance, 
Every  grace  that  brings  you  nigh, 

"Without  money, 
Come  to  Jesus  Christ  and  buy. 

3  Let  not  conscience  make  you  linger, 

Nor  of  fitness  fondly  dream ; 
All  the  fitness  he  requireth 
Is  to  feel  your  need  of  him : 

This  he  gives  you ; 
'Tis  the  Spirit's  glimmering  beam. 

4  Come,  ye  weary,  heavy-laden, 

Bruised  and  mangled  by  the  fall ; 
If  you  tarry  till  you're  better, 
You  will  never  come  at  all ; 

Not  the  righteous, — 
Sinners  Jesus  came  to  call. 

5  Agonizing  in  the  garden, 

Your  Redeemer  prostrate  lies ; 
On  the  bloody  tree  behold  him ! 
Hear  him  cry,  before  he  dies, 

*'  It  is  finished ! n 
Sinners,  will  not  this  suffice:'

Praising  him  forevermore,

There  his  name  we  will  adore,

Thou  shale  stand  before  the  King,

Lay  thy  trophies  at  his  feet, 
In  his  likeness  stand  complete,

Cho. — We  will  rest  in  the  fair  and  happy  lanu, 
Just  across  on  the  evergreen  shore, 
Sing  the  song  of  Moses  and  the  Lamb,  by  and  by, 
And  dwell  with  Jesus  evermore. 

2  O'er  all  these  wide  extended  plains 

Shines  one  eternal  day ; 
•"  There  God  the  Son  forever  reigns, 

And  scatters  night  away.

And  be  forever  blest  ? 
When  shall  I  see  my  Father's  face, 
And  in  his  bosom  rest?

Would  here  no  longer  stay  ; 
Though  Jordan's  waves  around  me  roll, 
Fearless  I'd  launch  away.

And  keeping  by  his  side. 

Cho. — Oh,  sinner,  why  will  you  not  come 
And  join  this  happy  band. 
So  you'll  be  sure  to  reach  that  home 
Up  in  the  heavenly  land  ? 

2  And  as  I  journey  along  the  way 

With  joy  my  heart  is  filled, 
My  Saviour  will  be  my  guide  and  stay 
Till  in  death  this  heart  is  stilled. 

3  The  Saviour  waits  to  welcome  you, 

Oh,  why  will  you  not  come? 
Now  from  this  time  bid  sin  adieu, 
And  start  for  the  heavenly  home. 

4  The  ways  of  sin  are  dark  and  drear, 

With  no  hopes  in  the  life  to  come, 
But  the  way  to  heaven  is  bright  and  clear, 
So  start  for  the  heavenly  home. 

5  Narrow  is  the  way  to  heaven's  bright  laud, 

And  oh,  the  joy  that's  to  come  ! 
When  we  will  join  the  angel  band 

Up  in  the  heavenly  home.  — jas.  Mani*y.

Where  reigned  the  power  of  sin.

To  loyal  hearts  and  free, 
That  every  promise  is  fulfilled, 
If  faith  but  brings  the  plea.

f~\  FOR  a  faith  that  will  not  shrink, 
^^  Though  pressed  by  every  foe, 
That  will  not  tremble  on  the  brink 
Of  any  earthly  woe  ! 
2  That  will  not  murmur  nor  complain  "~ 
Beneath  the  chastening  rod, 
But,  in  the  hour  of  grief  or  pain, 
Will  lean  upon  its  God  : 
8  A  faith  that  shines  more  bright  and  deal 
When  tempests  rage  without ; 
That  when  in  danger  knows  no  fear, 
Ix\  darkness  feels  no  doubt ;

Nor  heeds  its  scornful  smile  ; 
That  ^eas  of  trouble  cannot  drown, 
Nor  Satan's  arts  beguile  ; 

5  A  faith  that  keeps  the  narrow  way- 

Till  life's  last  hour  is  fled, 
And  with  a  pure  and  heavenly  ray 
Illumes  a  dying  bed. 

6  Lord,  give  us  such  a  faith  as  this, 

And  then,  whate'er  may  come, 

We'll  taste,  e'en  here,  the  hallowed  bliss 
Of  an  eternal  home. 

75  Tune,  "Sweet  by  and  by." 

T  TOW  tedious  and  tasteless  the  hours 

-*--*-  When  Jesus  no  longer  I  see! 

Sweet  prospects,  sweet  birds  and  sweet  flowers. 

Have  all  lost  their  sweetness  to  me  ; 
The  midsummer  sun  shines  but  dim, 

The  fields  strive  in  vain  to  look  gay ; 
But  when  I  am  happy  in  him, 

December's  as  pleasant  as  May. 

Cho. —         I  believe  Jesus  saves, 

And  his  blood  washes  whiter  than  snow   if 

2  His  name  yields  the  richest  perfume, 

And  sweeter  than  music  his  voice ; 
His  presence  disperses  my  gloom. 

And  makes  all  within  me  rejoice; 
I  should,  where  he  always  thus  nigh, 

Have  nothing  to  wish  or  to  fear ; 
No  mortal  so  happy  as  I, 

My  summer  would  last  all  the  year. 

3  Content  with  beholding  his  face, 

My  all  to  his  pleasure  resigned, 
No  changes  of  season  or  place 

Would  make  any  change  in  my  mind: 
While  blest  with  a  sense  of  his  love, 

A  palace  a  toy  would  appear ; 
And  prisons  would  palaces  prove. 

If  Jesus  would  dwell  with  me  there.

Come  to  the  banquet,  great  and  small, 
Praise,  oh,  praise  his  name.

Hallelujah  !  praise  his  name  ; 
For  the  cloud  of  his  glory  we  now  behold, 
Praise,  oh,  praise  his  name.

Hallelujah  !  praise  his  name  ;

And  giveth  me  strength  as  my  day.

4  O  blessed  Redeemer,  some  day  I  shall  stand 

O'erwhelmed  with  the  light  of  thy  face, 
Adoring  forever,  and  shouting  thy  praise, 
Because  thou  hast  saved  me  by  grace.

~T~~i~EAR  the  earnest  invitation, 

Wanderer  from  the  path  of  light^ 
Jesus  offers  his  salvation  ; 
Will  you  come  to  Christ  to-night  ? 

Cho, — Will  you  come?  will  you  come? 
Come  and  at  his  altar  bow  ; 
Will  you  come?  will  you  come? 
Jesus  waits  to  save  you  now. 

2  Christian  souls  are  fervent  praying, 

Holy  Spirit,  send  thy  light, 
Why  afar  in  darkness  staying? 
Why  not  come  to  Christ  to-night? 

3  Angels  near  us,  eager  bending, 

Friends  beloved  from  homes  of  light, 
With  our  hearts  their  question  blending, 
Will  you  come  to  Christ  to-night? 

4  Hear  the  Saviour  interceding, 

Nor  his  gracious  message  slight  ; 
Will  you  pass  his  cross  unheeding  ? 
Oh,  return  to  Christ  to  night.

HH  HE  Lord  is  my  Shepherd,  I  shall  not  want,

In  pastures  green,  he  leadeth  me 
The  quiet  waters  by.

I've  found   it  so,  I've  found  it  so  ; 
He  leadeth  me,  by  day  and  by  night, 
Where  living  waters  flow. 

2  My  soul  crieth  out  : l(  restore  me  again, 

And  give  me  the  strength  to  take 
The  narrow  path  of  righteousness, 
E'en  for  his  own  name's  sake." 

3  Yea,  thy  I  should  walk  in  the  valley  of  death, 

Yet  why  should  I  fear  from  ill? 
For  thou  art  with  me,  and  thy  rod 
And  staff  me  comfort  still.

V/  OU  ask  what  makes  me  happy,  my  heart  so  free 
-*-  from  care, 

It  is  because  my  Saviour  in  mercy  heard  my  prayer; 
He  brought  me  out  of  darkness, and  now  the  light  I  see  ; 
O  blessed,  loving  Saviour  !  to  him  the  praise  shall  be. 

Cho. — I  will  shout   his  praise  in  glory, 

So  will  I,  so  will    I, 

And  we'll  all  sing  hallelujah  in  beaven  by  and  by;; 
I  will  shout   his  praise  in  glory, 

So  will  I,  so  will  I, 

And  we'll  all  sing  hallelujah  in  heaven  by  and  by  ; 

2  I  was  a  friendless  wand'rer  till  Jesus  took  me  in, 
My  life  was  full  of  sorrow,  my  heart  was  full  of  sin  ; 
But  when  the  blood  so  precious  spoke  pardon  to  my  soul ; 
Oh,  blissful,  blissful  moment !  'twas  joy  beyond  control. 

3  I  wish  that  every  sinner  before  his  throne  would  bow  ; 
He  waits  to  bid  them  welcome,  he  longs  to  bless  them  now; 
If  they  but  knew  the  rapture  that  in  his  love  I  see, 
They'd  come  and  shout  salvation,  and  sing  his  praiso 

with  me. 

62 


4  I  mean  to  live  for  Jesus  while  here  on  earth  I  stay, 
And  wher  his  voice  shall  call  me  to  realms  of  endless  day, 
As  one  by  one  we  gather,  rejoicing  on  the  shore, 
We'll  shout  his  praise  in  glory,  and  sing  forever  more.
